Intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and CT were measured preoperatively and at 1 week (W1), 1 month (M1), 3 months (M3), and 6 months (M6) postoperatively. In addition, anterior chamber depth (ACD), axial length (AL), visual feld mean deviation (MD), and mean refractive error (MRE) were recorded preoperatively and at the fnal follow-up visit. Correlations between ocular biometric parameters and MRE were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods.  \nResults: Within 6 months after Phaco-GSL, CT measured at 13 predefned locations showed an initial postoperative increase, followed by a gradual decline, eventually returning to baseline levels. IOP decreased at W1 and stabilized at M6 . In addition, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) was negatively correlated with IOP preoperatively (p \u003C 0.05) and AL both preoperatively and at M6 (p \u003C 0.01) but positively related to MD at M6. Moreover, CT changes were positively correlated with MRE (p \u003C 0.05), while changes in ACD, AL, and IOP were not associated with MRE (all, p > 0.05) .  \nConclusion: Tese fndings suggest that CT initially increases and then decreases over a 6-month period following Phaco-GSL. CTis associated with IOP, AL, and MD reductions. Furthermore, CT changes are associated with an increase in MRE, ofering valuable insights into the refractive shifts in PAC/PACG patients after Phaco-GSL.  \nKeywords: changes and efects; choroidal thickness; PAC/PACG; Phaco-GSL  \n1. Introduction  \nPrimary angle-closure (PAC) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) are subtypes of glaucoma, with particularly high prevalence in Asia, especially in China [1, 2] . Te precise mechanism underlying PAC has not been fully elucidated. Some scholars propose that the expansion of thechoroid plays an important role in angle closure. Specifcally, choroidal thickening may elevate posterior segment pressure, creating a transvitreal pressure gradient that pushes the  \nlens–iris diaphragm anteriorly, resulting in anterior chamber shallowing and narrowing of the iridocorneal angle [3] . Additionally, healthy individuals with shallow anterior chambers or short axial length (AL) are susceptible to acute angle-closure attacks [4]. Terefore, the exact mechanism for  \nthe onset of PAC/PACG deserves further attention.  \nStudies have shown that after glaucoma surgery, a decrease in intraocular pressure (IOP) may lead to an increase in choroidal blood volume, contributing to a decrease in ALand an increased choroidal thickness (CT) [5] .
